Moving from Revolt 1.5 (working Car Home App, triggered by the car LG car dock) to Gingervolt 1.2, for some reason, my navigate and map button states " Activity not found". If I leave car mode, and and select navigate or map app, it works. Is there way to relink? "Add short cut " only option is Direct dial.
I will have to modify it again. Honestly I forgot lol. Give me a couple days and I will get something out!

Is the 4G Tether no longer part of 2.3? I think I read it somewhere but cannot find references. Thanks a bunch...Great work!!!!

What is this app about?
Can be closed after answered ;-)
Thanks!
It makes the basic functions such as contacts, music, phone, navigation easy to access by making big buttons. So you don't have to concentrate on finding shortcuts on your homescreens or in the menu.
Works pretty good when in a car cradle.
This car app is an custom lg app, the standard app is cuatomisable and has multiple screens. It looks like lg edited the android 2.1 version instead of the 2.2 > version. I hope they will change this in the update, so I can place others apps in the car kit app, like traphic jam info.

So I finally got sick of my two cheap 3rd party car docks and bought the Samsung one. (which in hindsight I should've done in the first place as it totally justifies it's cost)
But when I connect my Tab, the notification bar shows a "Car Mode" steering wheel icon but nothing launches. (with the 2 cheap docks, the Car Mode notification didn't ever appear)
There's nothing called "Car Home" in the apps drawer nor can I find it in/with Titanium Backup Pro
Can anyone confirm its working for them, and let me know what's meant to happen?
Running Overcome GB RC2...
Car Home is an app with shortcuts to Maps, Navigation, Contacts and Messages (I think) so you can choose common apps you need while in the car. You should be able to get it from Samsung Apps.

I am missing the Car Home app on my phone. I went from Revolt 1.3 to Revolt 1.5 (fixed version) using the suggested instructions including wiping data. I haven't used Car Home before, but I remember seeing the icon listed before.
When I look in Manage Applications, Car Home is listed but every button is grayed out. How can I add it back in?
i must be missing a file or something, but when docked my droid 3 will not go into dock mode - does nothing - any ideas?
There's an app for that.
But really. Marketplace.

Hello everyone! I currently own a DROID 3 flashed with SteelDroid's 3.0 ROM. At the moment I am experiencing an auto-rotate issue when I place my D3 onto the car mount. For example, the car dock application rotates correctly, however, whenever I have my phone app or navigation app, it doesn't rotate 90 degrees. Anyway to fix this? If anyone has any documentation on how to do so, please link me...I will take it from there.
Also! chevycam incorporated the ICS music apk in his rom...when i try to access the music shortcut in the car dock apk it causes a force close issue. anyway to fix that? i would greatly appreciate anyone's input on this matter.
THANK YOU!
1) my Car dock does this too, I'm going to look into it probably over the weekend.
2) the music shortcut is still trying to open the old music app, so when it doesn't find it, it force closes. You can also scroll to the side and make your own shortcut for the new music app.

Same problem here with auto-rotate. Was not an issue in SD2. Possibly power notification widget?

Yeah I ended up using a third part music app. Question, do I edit .apks with eclipse (doesn't have to be eclipse) so I can attempt to fix the music app location f/c issue? Seriously, let me know how I can help since you'll be looking into this yourself dpwhitty.

Anyone have an update on this, I have the same problem with the car dock.
I switched back to steeldroid 2.0...no issues there. I wish I could find the source of the problem...sorry

Liberty 3.0 works fine also.
it must not be reading the magnet position correctly. D3 still relies off of the magnet to identify dock status. i've verified this with a pendant and no dock. if the screen is set to NOT auto-rotate, and the keyboard is closed, maps/nav, etc., will always be portrait. apply a correctly positioned/polarity magnet and landscape is invoked.
Any fix for this yet?
There's an app on the market that allows you to force rotation on individual applications. Its my new best friend!!
